Humanitarian is about as legitimate a word as "bipartisan" in American parlance. What this is (not through Trump, but from the broader, established foreign policy elites) basically amounts to colonialism.
Why aren't we bombing the hell out of Saudi Arabia? They literally funded, aided, and abetted 9/11. Why aren't we invading Equatorial Guinea? Does Blue3 even know about the Great African War that has been underway for decades?
Well, most people can't correctly name the deadliest war since WW2.
Well, most people don't care about black people. It's a sad reality but institutionalized racism in western culture isn't just a SJW talking point (though it is often used as one to blunt free speech). I'd be happy to take in Congolese refugees for the very reason that we have nothing to do with that conflict overtly (we did kill Lumumba or whatever his name was, backed Mobuto, etc) and thus the grudge isn't as strong as it is in Syria.
Look at that six year old on Twitter, the media's darling, six year old Bana. Cute kid. My heart bleeds for her. All of the tweets from her mom are angry tirades about how it's our fault that Syrians are dying for not doing anything. If she hates this country (the mom-the girl doesn't know what the hell is being done with her obviously) so much, why should we resettle her? We didn't start it and we have no reason or right to end it.
Patrice Lumumba, got killed for no good reason like Mossadegh in Iran or Salvador Allende in Chile because they are embracing socialism or wanted to nationalize oil etc which BP didn't like - All democratic elected peaceful leaders who posed no threat, never attacked their own people or gassed them. And they were replaced by a US backed brutal dictator who massacred many people, indulged in corruption. General Pinochet was horrible & barbaric. If there was no Shah, then would be no Khomeini & Iranian Revolution!
And you are right about Saudia, they are literally funding radical Islam throughout the world, providing universities of radical Islam for new terror groups to come about. And Trump went into Yemen to bomb people to placate Saudi - He had too many newcons taking over foreign policy.
Graham, McCain, Rubio are asking for 7-10K troops & a full out war. Nikki Haley has already said this is only the start & US is prepared to do more. The funny thing is all these people who cut meals &
Graham rebuked Tucker saying there is no price for national security. Now look at another 100B $ military increase in the next budget because Trump will be rebuilding the military & will be cutting all domestic programs to bomb Assad !
